Yepsen boosts Premo in 43rd Senate

Saratoga Springs Supervisor Joanne Yepsen was tossed out of the Democrats’ 43rd State Senate District primary when her petitions were challenged. Yepsen supporters blamed Mike Russo of Saratoga for getting rid of their candidate.

No surprise then that Yepsen is backing Brian Premo of Brunswick in the race. Yepsen joined Rensselaer County Minority Leader Ginny O’Brien is lining up behind Premo.

Premo appears in Saratoga Springs at 7 p.m., tonight, at the the new Hampton Inn at 25 Lake St.

Oh come on Joanne, I thought you were smarter than that! I know for a fact that it was not Mike Russo that knocked you off the ballot. The person that knocked you off, signed Premo’s petitiion. What does that tell you? I guess you have some enemies you don’t know about. I hope you are happy, you’re adding fuel to the problems in our Saratoga Springs.

i know for a fact it was mike russo. and, btw, how is supporting the endorsed democratic candidate adding fuel to the fire? Russo should never have thrown his hat in the ring to begin with. Gillibrand really needed him, and now many many people are not only mad at Russo but at Gillibrand for not stopping it from happening in the first place. Mike has nobody to blame but himself when he loses….

blah blah blah, at least Joanne knows what NYSERDA stands for. Try winning with class and being a good sport – oh yeah Russo’s people can’t imagine running an election without dirty politics and nasty intimidating commentary. You union thugs need to stop thinking you can dictate NYS policy and force people to do your bidding through threats and ugly comments. grow up!
